Devilish Capital One "No Hassle Rewards" Campaign

Capital One Canada causes Hell to freeze over with their 'No Hassle Rewards' card, a rewards card with no surprises at redemption (i.e. no blackout dates, no hidden fees/taxes, miles never expire).

Unlike most other rewards cards that hit consumers with extra admin charges, taxes, and blackouts when they go to redeem their points, Capital One's No Hassle Rewards card actually takes the frustration out of rewards redemption - you can even pay the travel taxes with your miles!

This TV spot is part of an integrated campaign that includes two additional TV spots, three Print ads, online ads, direct mail, billboards and transit shelter ads.
